(03/13/07) You speak English every day. But how much do you know about its long and fascinating history? These 36 lectures are a thorough and absorbing survey of English, from its origins as a Germanic dialect to the literary and cultural achievements of its 1,500-year history to the state of American speech and global English today. Do you know where English, the language in which you communicate each and every day, came from? Do you know how it evolved? Why we spell the way we do? Why we pronounce words the way we do? Why we use the very words we do? Discover a Wealth of Fascinating Detail Much of the charm of this course is in its wealth of fascinating detail: * Where do the silent "k" and "g" in "knight" come from? * Why could Chaucer and Shakespeare use multiple negatives without anyone missing their meaning? * Why did Isaac Newton take time out from physics to research spelling? * How did a British colonial official first realize that languages spoken from Britain to India were deeply...See less

(03/13/07) "I never met a person who is not interested in language," wrote the bestselling author and psychologist Steven Pinker. There are good reasons that language fascinates us so. It not only defines humans as a species, placing us head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators, but it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries. For example: * How did different languages come to be? * Why isn’t there just a single language? * How does a language change, and when it does, is that change indicative of decay or growth? * How does a language become extinct? Dr. John McWhorter, one of America’s leading linguists and a frequent commentator on network television and National Public Radio, addresses these and other questions as he takes you on an in-depth, 36-lecture tour of the development of human language, showing how a single tongue spoken 150,000 years ago has evolved into the estimated 6,000 languages used around the world today. An accomplished scholar, Professor...See less

(03/25/07) While human history is usually studied from the perspective of a few hundred years, anthropologists consider deeper causes for the ways we act. In this course, anthropologist Barbara J. King uses her wealth of research experience to open a window of understanding for you into the legacy left by our primate past. These lectures look for the roots of human behavior in the behavior of other primates: monkeys, apes, and human ancestors. In these lectures, you explore such questions as: * Are language and technology unique to humans? * Have human love and loyalty developed from emotions of our primate cousins? * Do the ways in which human males and females relate to each other come from our primate past? * Have we inherited a biological tendency for aggression? * How much of our behavioral, cognitive, and cultural identity have we inherited from our closest living relatives? * How can the study of monkeys and apes lead us to a fuller picture of who we are? As human beings who value our...See less

(09/13/07) The most remarkable thing about this extraordinary collection is how well it lives up to its ambitious title. It is, in fact, full of great moments, and even when it falls short of greatness (for example, in Birgit Nilsson's note-perfect but too tranquil "Pace, pace" from La forza del destino), the standard is high. A list of the participants' names is almost a who's who of the international opera elite in the 1950s and '60s--or, more specifically, of those who were singing at the Metropolitan Opera and thereby available in New York for Ed Sullivan's "Show of Shows." Intellectuals tended to look down on this show, but it did book the best talent available and it let them do what they did best--essentially, the most familiar highlights from the standard repertoire. In the (unspecified) years that supplied these performances, the show's style changed: color replaced black and white; scenery and costumes gave way to formal evening wear and concert interpretations (though Richard Tucker...See less

(09/13/07) Each chapter of this new cookbook, by Francine Segan, presents a culinary performance – an elegant five-course bel canto dinner, a brunch with Gershwin, a Mozart dessert party – scored to a particular operatic motif or keyed to the work of a composer. Operas set in Spain – Carmen, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Don Giovanni – are the backdrop for a tapas party. The many locales of Puccini’s La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Tosca and Turandot make an eclectic buffet. With other chapters focused on Verdi, Russian composers, German operas, a Hansel and Gretel children’s party, a French cocktail party and much more, this book covers all styles of opera. Published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang in association with The Metropolitan Opera Guild, the book is filled with color photographs of the food as well as opera productions, and is peppered with interesting opera facts and cooking tips throughout, the cookbook gives you all the necessary tools to prepare and host an unforgettable party!

(09/13/07) (Foreword, by Lorin Hollander, concert pianist) Eloise Ristad deals here with complex problems which torment and cripple so many of our most creative and talented people, and she does so with compassion, wisdom, and wit. The problem of stage fright, for instance, is a suffering of epidemic proportions in our society, and involves modalities of thought and projections that rob spontaneity and enthusiasm in artistic performance. Those interested in creative education have long felt that an entirely new, holistic and nurturing process of allowing individuals to discover and express themselves is needed if our educational system is to avoid the neuroses and creative blocks of the past generation. This book illuminates through its conversational style the destructive inhibitions, fears, and guilt experienced by all of us as we fail to break through to creativity. This story is told to me day after day in conservatories and college campuses around the world. Indeed I felt at times that...See less

(09/13/07) ARIA READY: The Business of Singing was written for singers entering the wonderful world of opera. As a teacher, I realized that most of my own students didn't understand that singing is a business. It requires business skills, but, more importantly, personal skills, because all business is about creating and maintaining relationships. I also realized that there was no book out there for singers that went beyond telling them what to do. So I wrote a practical, how-to, step-by-step guide to building a solid foundation for a long-term singing career. The information in my book comes from my own 35 years of experience as an opera singer, teacher, and Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Trainer, which in its most basic form is learning to model excellence. In other words, it's taking things we all do every day all day in an unconscious manner and simply bringing them to consciousness, doing them on purpose. I have been studying NLP for many years.See less
